00:00 Introductions 01:03  Plane Crash 03:42 DEI 09:39 Harvey Weinstein  11:03 Chinese Incels 16:01 Dank Demoss 19:15 Anti-Abortion States 21:12 Tariffs —The crash of American Airlines Flight 5342 is a tragedy. There's no other way to describe it.  Families are devastated, and will forever be changed. So, naturally, the media is trying to cash in any way they can. Clickbait headlines are generally awful, but when they're used to take advantage of something this horrific, it makes people want to believe in hell, that the “reporters” might burn their for their sins. Gibson Johns—if that's a real person an not a handle given to an article written by AI—and E! News (which should be in quote, “News”) cashed in my offering a scary headline about a chilling photo by one of the victims of the crash, a teenage boy who will be missed by his parents for the rest of their lives.  It's disgusting, and Jake has special words regarding the “reporters” who seek out families after a tragedy. —Speaking of cashing in on a tragedy, Donald Trump once again showed his complete inability to lead with grace, or compassion, turning an awful situation into an opportunity to rally his political base using anger, an ignorance. Blaming the crash on DEI right out of the gate was a bold move, but red meat the dumbest of the dumb could lap up like the dogs they are. In an interesting twist, however, he threw “dwarfism” into the mix as one of the reasons the plane crash happened.  Interesting. —A couple episodes back, Jake said Harvey got out of jail.  nathan was dumbfounded, “How did I miss that?!?” Turns out, nathan missed nothing! Harvey is still locked up in Rikers Island, just like he deserves to be. —Oh, China… You best America in so many ways—bullet trains, airports, education… and now, INCELS. Yes, while our INCELS go on rampages, and hurt people, yours go look at panda bears. Dammit, China. Stop being better than us. —Dank Demoss is rapper who hates several things: salads, walking, and reality. Dank weighs 489 pounds, and thinks that if she orders a Lyft, she should be able to get into whatever arrives, be it a Honda Civic, or a Mini Cooper.  When her ride arrived, the driver took one look at her and said, “Nope. My shocks and tires can't take that kind of abuse,” and locked her out. Naturally, this caused Dank to have a “come to Jesus” moment, where she turned her life around, began eating right, and exercising. Of COURSE I'm kidding. She's suing Lyft, because personal responsibility doesn't exist. —Is an exodus taking place from states with impossibly restrictive bans on women's health? The Los Angeles times thinks so. Why? Because speculation, that's why. In an article heavy on thoughts and light on facts, it is opined that a less than 1% population departure from states more interested in fairy tales than medicine, means it's got to be because of a political wedge issue. Great job, Los Angeles Times. Way to waste column space.  —Well, things are gonna get interesting.  Despite anyone and everyone with an IQ above that of your average turnip understanding that tariffs make things more expensive for the consumers of the country applying said tariffs, Donald Trump announced 25% additions to Mexican and Canadian goods, and 10% on Chinese imports. What was the immediate reaction? Trillion-dollar hedge funds started taking out massive shorts on the American Economy. In 2008, a few wise men beat the crap out of the banks and made hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars off their stupidity. Now, the American people will lose, and rich look to get richer. Yay. Idiots on Parade: we mock the news, so you don't have to. Tune in and get your giggle on. Find Jake at @jakevevera Find nathan at nathantimmel.com

Key Insights:* The Chinese Communist Party is very like an aristocracy—or maybe it isn't…* If it is, it will in the long run have the same strong growth-retarding effects on the economy that aristocracies traditionally have…* Or maybe it won't: China today is not Europe in the 1600s…* We probably will not be able to get Noah to read Franklin Ford: Robe & Sword: The Regrouping of the French Nobility After Louis XIV to dive more deeply into analogies & contrasts…* Southeast Asia's future is very bright because of friendshoring…* India's future is likely to be rather bright too—it looks like a much better economic partner for the rest of the world over the next two generations than does China…* You can get pretty far by just massively forcing your society to build lots and lots and lots of capital…* Especially if you have an outside country you can point to and say “give me one—or five—of those!”…* But quantity of investment has a quality of its own only so far…* We think of technology as the hard stuff…* But actually the hard stuff is institutions, property rights, government—people actually doing what they said they would do, rather than exerting their social power to welsh on their commitments…* We are surprised and amazed at China's technological excellence in electric vehicles, in battery and solar technology, in high-speed rail, and so forth…* But those are relatively small slices of what a truly prosperous economy needs…* For everything else, we have reason to fear that the logics of soft budget constraints and authoritarian systems are not things China will be able to evade indefinitely…* Is that a middle-income trap?

Jason, Andy, and Brian talk about what they're watching and Andy has a Frontier/Spirit airport travel story. Also, Stay tuned - Season 3 Episode 11 comes out this Wednesday morning (3/22/2023) with a review of the 1983 movie High Road to China (You don't have to watch it, just listen to the podcast).

In this episode, we're going to talk with Ruth Greene, birth doula, Evidence Based Birth® Pro Member, and Co-owner of Having a Baby in China Consulting Services, about the challenges of giving birth in a foreign country and how pregnancy and childbirth can unite us despite our unique cultural & lived experiences.   After the birth of her second baby in a local hospital in China, Ruth began volunteering to support other foreigners as they struggled to navigate an unfamiliar healthcare system. Ruth's passion drove her to seek formal training as a doula and childbirth educator. In May 2022, Ruth partnered with the creators of havingababyinchina.com to open an official Chinese company that offers breastfeeding, doula, and consulting services. Ruth's clients hail from every corner of the earth, from South Africa to Brazil, to England, to Iran, and, of course, China. No matter the cultural or personal background, Ruth considers it an absolute privilege to be invited into the sacred space of pregnancy and birth.   Ruth shares her own experiences giving birth in China and how she came to find herself immersed in birth work and making a career of helping similar families navigate the process themselves. Ruth highlights the many differences and unique cultural traditions around having a baby in China, like the Zuo Yue Zi, or the “sitting month.” Despite the differences, Ruth has found that experiences of pregnancy and birth unite us all.   Resources: Check out Ruth's website here  Email Ruth directly at ruth@havingababyinchina.com Follow Ruth on Instagram - Having a Baby in China  Find Ruth on WeChat - ID: GirlTravelor Listen to her Podcast: Having a Baby in China  You can also find Having a Baby in China on WeChat from her podcast page linked above Go to our YouTube channel to see video versions of the episode listed above!!

Dr. Cameron feels that the best way to get to know COVID-19 is through reviewing actual cases. In this Podcast episode, he will discuss the risk for children with Coronavirus COVID-19. Dong and colleague first discussed this case in the journal Pediatrics in 2020. The authors described 2143 pediatric Patients COVID-19 in China You may be wondering why I am discussing COVID-19 during an Inside Lyme podcast. First, I am concerned for my children and grandchildren. Second, I am concerned about my Lyme disease patients. Lastly, I need to understand the disease.13 children with COVID-19 infections had what the authors defined as critical disease. These children would “quickly progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or respiratory failure, and may also have shock, encephalopathy, myocardial injury or heart failure, coagulation dysfunction, and acute kidney injury. Organ dysfunction can be life threatening.” wrote the authors. The youngest pediatric patients with a COVID-19 infection were the most likely to develop severe or critical disease. Nearly 7 out of 10 their pediatric patients with COVID-19 infections under five years of age had moderate, severe, or critical disease. A 14-year-old boy died. You will hear more about these children in this COVID-19 podcast.You can hear more about these cases through his blogs, social media, and YouTube.

Today, we will go over some key details to take in consideration before leaving your country in order to safe abroad. This is a short intro of things to consider when deciding to move somewhere else. You will need more than just a toothbrush to make your journey a success. Here are some interesting sites you can check if you do need to travel. To travel abroad (experience life with locals) Servas: It's a Federation where people can connect and exchange in order to create world peace. A bit like the concept of Couch surfing, but you need to pass the interview before being part of the group. Double check if you do have to pay an annual membership fee. You can either be a traveler or a host. Couch Surfing: It's a way to travel and meet locals from all around the world. Yes, it's free. You can connect with a bunch of people. You can either be a traveler or a host. Once you traveled and met someone on couch surfing, you can rate them and comment on their page (to tell everyone a positive opinion of that person) if you feel like it. There are others ways to get ''verified'' on couch surfing to make sure it's safe, but in my experience, when living abroad, it's great to share your couch and meet new traveler who can help you rediscover your ''host city''. Woofing: This is more like a work abroad and live where you work style. Usually, WWOOF means World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. WWOOF is the connection between volunteers and organic farms. Conditions vary depending on farms. Look on their website for more information. Good apps for safe Transportation: Good thing is that when you use applications, you can rate your driver and a follow up of the driver. So far, all my experiences with Grab and Didi have been great. Grab: Use them for transport, food delivery and payment solutions. (Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand) Didi: Use them for transport. (The link is the link for their application) (China) You can use it sometimes in other Uber: For Americas Also, I'm not including bike applications, but I would vividly recommend them. Many many major cities have shared bikes applications. Mobile, Jumpbike, Ofo, Velib, Bixi... Enjoy! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/laurence-couture/message

This week, I’m getting my beloved crystal ball out to tell you why I think a lot of the recession rumors out there right now are based more on sensationalism than actual data, and why I’m still positive about the direction of the economy and hence, the stock market.  Today, I’m talking about everyone’s favorite topic - Trump! No matter how you feel about Trump, his twitter feed, for the last several months, he’s been putting on his Apprentice hat, and telling China “You’re Fired”. You’re fired” Oh geez...do you know how long I practiced that for. I think I threw a little too much Jersey in there.  Ok, enough with that. What am I really talking about here? Trump and the trade negotiations with China.  Here’s why I don’t think it matters all that much for the direction of the economy, and why you may want to dismiss most of the news hype around it… Despite potential cost increases for the things that you buy that are made in China, according to the Tax Foundation, the nation’s leading independent tax policy nonprofit, “the tariffs planned and imposed so far by the Trump administration would reduce long-run GDP by 0.25 percent...If the Trump administration acts on threats to place new tariffs on automobiles and parts and additional tariffs on products from China, GDP would fall by an additional 0.32 percent.” So just over a ½ % drop in our GDP, not exactly enough to push us into a recession or kill all of our jobs. Really, the trade war is much more about politics than it is about the overall economy, which is why it’s unlikely to have the predicted impact of your retirement portfolio that the news media claims it will have.   That’s it for today.

TechBuzz China is going to China! As part of our inaugural invite-only TechBuzz China Investor Trip for public market investors taking place right after Golden Week, we will be hosting live meetups. These will take place in Beijing’s Sanlitun after dinner on Tuesday, October 8, and in Shanghai after dinner on Thursday, October 10. If you are in either of those cities, do come out and have a beer on us! Check our Twitter (@techbuzzchina) for updates on the exact locations and times. Episode 52 of TechBuzz China is on a topic from back in August, when Kuaishou, Baidu, Tencent, and Capital Today invested a collective $434 million into the Q&A site Zhihu 知乎. The site, which literally means “Do you know?” in Chinese, is comparable to Quora in its core services. Its 220 million monthly active users (MAU) is also comparable with Quora’s 300 million MAU. In typical TechBuzz fashion, our co-hosts, Rui Ma and Ying-Ying Lu, dive into Zhihu’s founding story, the company’s business strategy over time, and further comparisons with global sites such as Quora and Reddit. They conclude by explaining why the recent partnership between Kuaishou and Zhihu makes sense. Listen to find out: What does Chinese media believe is significant about the hometown province of Zhihu CEO Zhou Yuan 周源? Over the course of several years, how did Zhihu beat out competitors that included other startups as well as products created by the likes of Baidu? In fact, how might these past stories help to explain Baidu’s participation in Zhihu’s latest round? What is Fenda 分答, how does it relate to Zhihu’s trajectory, and what might explain why it was one of the first instances in which a Silicon Valley entrepreneur openly admitted that he found inspiration in the innovative design of a Chinese company?

You’ll hear every word of it in today’s podcast episode. I’ve been lucky to know her for many years, back when she started her career at Red Alert Politics, owned by the Washington Examiner.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser speaks with Lucy Hornby, the deputy bureau chief of the Financial Times in Beijing and a veteran guest on the show. She has appeared on Sinica before to discuss professional representation for women in China, the last surviving comfort women in the country, and domestic environmental challenges. The two discuss shadow banking in China and its history; the cat-and-mouse relationship between regulators and shadow financiers; the advent of fintech and the proliferation of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platforms; and Lucy’s reporting on a pyramid scheme involving selenium-infused wheat in Hebei. What to listen for this week on the Sinica Podcast: 11:15: Lucy responding to Kaiser’s question on perceptions of shadow lending in China: “You see repeated attempts by the Chinese state to shut this down. And also the words that they use around it: shadow banking, private banking, private financiers, capitalists… They’re very much painted in a negative light. But at the same time, some of China’s biggest entrepreneurs have said they would never have gotten started or been able to make it through a downturn [without a shadow loan].” 13:02: Lucy points out that in the lead-up to the financial crisis of 2008, the state took control of building housing from private investors: “This cutoff in loans [to private entities] happened roughly around the time you had the global financial crisis and the Chinese government putting out a massive stimulus plan…and suddenly if you can make a 30 percent profit on something, you can take out a 20 percent loan… That's when you really had this explosion of shadow banking that reached into every sector of the economy.” 30:35: “The other thing I think a lot of people don’t realize is that Chinese shadow financing has flowed into peripheral countries… A lot of Mongolian entrepreneurs turn to that shadow financing, and you even had some who then took that and repackaged it at higher rates to Mongolian retail customers. So, that means that basically the nation of Mongolia is now completely exposed to the Chinese shadow banking sector.” 42:15: To conclude the discussion, Lucy provides a bird’s-eye view: “I think your point about China’s need for flexible financing is a real one, and that’s going to continue. But I think what we’re also seeing is a massive deleveraging and default of all these boom years into the pockets of the average Chinese person.” Recommendations: Lucy: Den of Thieves, by James B. Stewart, the tome-like account of the junk bond trading craze of the 1980s, and The China Dream, by Joe Studwell. Kaiser: Two books by Stephen R. Platt: Imperial Twilight: The Opium War and the End of China’s Last Golden Age and Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom: China, the West, and the Epic Story of the Taiping Civil War.

This past month I was fortunate to be a guest of Xidian University in China for two weeks. On this episode of the podcast I share stories and reflections from my adventures as a first-time visitor to China, and I give an overview of some of the public talks and lectures I gave during my visit. The episode has four distinct parts. The first 20 minutes is stories from my trip and observations about Chinese culture. Then there are three discussions on philosophy, science and critical thinking topics: (00 min -20 min) stories from my trip and observations about Chinese culture (20 min - 30 min) on circular reasoning in the appeal to science and nature to justify social and political views (30 min - 40 min) on the elements of science literacy and why public science education doesn't teach it (40 min - 50 min) on the history of critical thinking in the west, and the challenges of talking about the value of critical thinking to audiences in modern China You can find a photo essay with lots of pics over at the blog at kevindelaplante.com: https://kevindelaplante.com/pics-from-china/ You can support the Argument Ninja podcast at http://argumentninja.com/support/
